Some books are better to see on screen, this is one of them. On paper, it’s too dense and a bit boring. I enjoyed because the story is unique, different, but I’m still not sure if I want to continue… I’ll give it time.

I love the premise. Unwritten books stored in an afterlife library with characters that sometimes come to life. This is the stuff of imagination!

While I liked the characters just fine and appreciate the queer representation as well as characters of colour, I didn't fall in love and didn't get swept away by the story. I also appreciate that there wasn't a romantic relationship that formed between any of the main characters.

It's not life-changing, but it's pretty alright. You know?

this was such a unique and cool concept!! it’s very refreshing, and pretty fascinating to explore the idea of different realms where souls could rest. also a library of unwritten books in hell? i love that. the characters are so compelling (obsessed with hero) and this book is genuinely so funny? definitely deserves way more hype.
